Health Update – 26 Nov 2023

Update after 3rd round of treatment
Again another brief health update. I had my 3rd round of treatment last Thursday 23rd November and so only just glowing a little bit with a new dose of radiation! Everything has gone well and currently on a 5-day course of 5 different drugs to help with the effects of the radiation. Also checking my sugar levels and blood pressure every day!
3 days in and I’m still feeling well, with very few noticeable side effects from the treatment, in fact, I’ve been working throughout this week working around all my appointments. A special thanks to my clients this week who have been very flexible to enable me to work around these appointments.
I had a further scan on Friday and the results of this 3rd scan were to measure the effects of the first 2 treatments my consultant was happy with the results and said that everything is still looking stable. I will continue to have fortnightly blood tests to check my red blood cell count, as the radiation does affect my red cell levels.
I’m again in isolation for 14 days, but the good news is I will be out of isolation in time for the festive season of carols, parties, and family gatherings. All good news! I also put in my diary the 4th and last round of treatment, which will now be on 22nd February next year. I also have another full week of work booked for this coming week, so this will keep me occupied and out of trouble.
I feel very fortunate that I’ve been able to get this new nuclear treatment and that it is working well. Thanks again for all your messages, prayers, and support, and my faith has only been strengthened throughout this journey.
